Average = 0.56 inches
Solution:
Given data: Total rainfall = 16.8 inches
Total number of days for a month = 30
To find the average of the rainfall.
Formula for average:
= 0.56 inches
Average = 0.56 inches
Hence, average of daily rainfall is 0.56 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear equation in slope intercept form which is
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The equation
Has a slope of -1/3 so this means that the slope will be decreasing. A negative linear equation increases as we go left. and decreases as we go right. The y intercept is 2. So this means the graph must pass through (0,2) and when x=0, y must be 2.
In other words, look for a line that the y values increase as we go left and decrease we go right. Also look for a point (0,2) and make sure the graph pass through it.
